A scholarship fund available at the master's level is for advanced study of the Finnish language and culture. The applicant must establish contact with a Finnish university prior to applying for the scholarship. Then the applicant must submit a curriculum vitae, reference letter from a Finnish language teacher, including an assessment of language ability, a confirmation letter from the hosting Finnish university, and a study plan. CIMO also requires a university transcript but it may be in English.
